23 months

April was a crazy month around our house.  I think we were gone more than we were home.  Between traveling to visit family, painting, an unexpected hospital visit, new carpet installation, a garage sale, and work the month totally flew by.  Now that we're into May we are finally catching our breath with a mostly open calendar.  All while this was happening, Jack somehow turned 23 months old.  Our little guy just keeps on growing!  Here's what he's up to: 

*He's started singing the Alphabet Song except none of the letters are distinguishable.  He's definitely got the tune down, though.

*He is very musical.  He loves to play both on his toy and our real piano, sing into his microphones, and bounce and dance to music on the radio.

*He has no problem telling us when he's hungry.  It's pretty common for him to tell us "nack" and pull us over to his chair to get something to eat.

*He did have his first overnight hospital visit this month :-(  Hopefully that's something that we won't have to repeat.

*He identifies Jesus in his Bible and those are some of his favorite stories.

*He continues to be our kid who doesn't need much sleep.  Although we get both kids to bed between 7:30-8:00, he typically doesn't fall asleep until awhile after.  He's usually the first one of the two up as well, waking around 7:30 or 8.  However, he does still require an afternoon nap.  If he misses his nap, we have a monster on our hands by dinner time.

*He has started calling "Mom" when he wants something.  Not sure where this came from, but I want "mama" back!

*He is very into choo choo's.

*He loves to draw and color.  Today in church he sat between Jason and I and very intently scribbled the pictures in the children's bulletin.  Sometimes I think he has more patience for this than Hannah!

*He loves to wear hats.  It's very common to see him wearing a hat any time of the day.  No preference to whose hat - Hannah's, Jason's or his own.  Makes it easy for keeping his head protected from the sun!
